- **4/5** — A good school, but some areas for improvement: We're generally happy with Dovery Academy, but there have been some issues with communication with the teachers and some inconsistencies in the homework policies. That being said, the staff are friendly and the facilities are excellent, and our child is enjoying their time at the school. *(Sep 2023)*

- **5/5** — Exceptional education: My children attended Dovery Academy from Reception to Year 6, and I was consistently impressed with the quality of teaching and the values that the school instilled in them. The classical liberal education is exactly what we were looking for, and our children have thrived as a result. *(Jun 2022)*
